Wondering if anyone could help me. I have a really old Toshiba Satellite Laptop which I bought a while back and I use to do all my assignments and work on. The other day I was playing with the colour settings and changed it from one setting to another (something like 32high bit colour to 16 bit colour can't remember) Now when I switch it on all the start up tect is visible as is the window 98 slogan but then it goes to a green screen (the colour of my background)
I can't see anything but know it is still working as I have a password and withour being able to see anything I type it in press enter and you can here it working. Also Ctr, Alt and delete works in restarting it
I have some important stuff on there and its obviously really stupid of me to play around with something I have no idea wot I 'm doing with.
But any help would be greatly receiced
Thanks

Sounds like you changed the machine into a gfx mode it doesnt handle too well. Boot your laptop into safe mode. Instructions how to do so here.
Hope'll you'll get the default resolution/colours so you can change your settings back to what they were originally.
